I do not think you are allowed to do that. The publisher do not have the right to sell the book in your country. I suppose it depends on the local law what holds for shops/sellers. I remember discussions about grey import and some time ago in London there were only one or two shops were you could buy American editions of science fiction-books and none of these shops were a big chain.
